14* best night ever

so it seems like a common goal is cold and comfy. well last night I nailed both. I have the M5-oh to sleep in now. It's a diy hammock made out of M50. Oh so amazing is all I can say. I have a 0* incubator and a 30* rev x. I also have a diy hammock sock made from M50 as well.

The temps were already on the low 20s when I got into the M5-oh. I was asleep in 15 min. I only woke to the wind thrashing the tarp around. temps got to 14*.... that's in the sock who knows what they got to outside the sock. I did not check. brrrrr

What size did you make your DIY and how much does it weigh as a result? M50 looks very interesting as a fabric, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. What specific things do you like in it over other DIY/hammocks you've tried?

As far as I know, hammock folk are the only ones on the planet that you hear say "I sure hope it gets insanely cold tonite" or "I sure hope it rains really hard tonite" or "I'm sleeping in the back yard tonite!"

FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.
